How Far the Human Jaw Travels

The MONDAY customers were drop
ping out one by one from a Sansom
street restaurant, when dyspeptic
looking man who sat at the next table
startled me by saying: "Have you
any idea how many miles mans jaw
will travel in the course of his life,
assuming that he lives to be 20 years
of age?"
well, l never thought of it," an
swered young man, who halted in
his wild career of beefsteak. The
dvspeptic man changed his seat and
exposed much soiled piece of paper
with some Ii1Sures on it, which he pro.
ceeded to explain:
'.For the first ten years child's jaw
will go about Sc inches daily or 20O,'
$50 inches altogether in a DECADE.
From his 10th to his Goth year, what
with chewing gum, food and tobacco,
he will work his jaw for, say, four
hours day, at an average of one-hali
of an inch per minute; that would
make in day 120 inches, or in the 1G
years $4,000 inches. During this
time he will talk about five hours a
day. traversing about three-fourths OF
an inch with his jaw; that would give
in 10 years S22, 250 inches to be added
to our former figures.
For the next 40 years he will spend
sixty minutes day in eating, when he
will open his mouth one-half an inch
minute and seven hours in talking,
when he will average fve-eighths of
an inch; that is when you figure it out,
5,O0S,62 inches.
1--WE now have our man So years
old. For the last five years his jaw
takes a rest. He viii eat no more than
80 minutes day at one-half inch 3
minute, or 27,345 inches. and in talk.
ing the distance travelled will not
amount to more than 338, 500 inches.
Now for the total. If we add the var
ious sums together we get 6,s35. 47O
inches, and dividing by 63,360, the
number of inches in a mile, you find
that the maxillary journey is dis
lance of 107 miles and fraction"
That is certainly interesting" said
the young man. Have you ever cal
culated the same ip-trip for a wo-
man?"

WHAT AM L TO DO?

The symptoms of Biliousness are uu
happily but too well known. They differ
in different individuals to some extent.
A Bilious man is seldom a breakfast eat
er. Too frequently, alas, he has an ex-
celtant appetite for liquids but none for
solids of morning. His tongue will
hardly bear inspection at any time; if it
is not white and furred, it is rough, at all
events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and Diarrhea or Constipation may
be symptom or the two may alternate
There are often Hemorrhoids or even
loss of blood. There may be giddiness
and often headache and acidity or fatu-
lence and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach. To correct all this if not effect
a cure try Green's August FloaOer, it
costs but trife and thousands attest its
efficacy. nov. IL

The Rattlesnake's Awful Eye.

Never seeing a snake charm a bird
or animal, / concluded it was a negro
superstition or fancy, devoid of fact.
So continued to think until few
DAYS ago when farmer friend of
mine, living four miles south of
Abilene, told me what he had lately
witnessed. He said he was riding
along on prairie, and saw prairie
dog within few feet of him, which re-
fused to scamper to his hole, as prairie
dogs usually do when approached by
man; on the contrary, he sat as if
transfixed to the spot, though making
a constant nervous, shuddering motion
as if anxious to get away. My friend
thought this was strange, and while
considering the spectacle, he presently
saw large rattlesnake coiled up un-
der some bushes, his head uplifted,
about six or seven feet from the dog.
which still needed him not, but looked
steadily upon the snake. He dis
mounted, took the dog by the head and
thrust him off, when the snake, which
had up to that moment remained quiet,
Immediately swelled with rage, and
began sounding his rattles. Tie
prairie cog for some time seemed be-
numbed. hardly capable of motion, but
grew better, and finally got into his
hole. My friend then killed the
rather Now, was this a case of charm
ing? If not, what was it? NV friend
who told me this is named John Irv-
inc Mcclure, a farmer, well known to
me. good and truthful man.
And to one who is familiar with the
eyes of rattlesnakes it does not seem
unreasonable that they should have
such power. If you will examine the
eve of one when he is cold in death,
you will perceive that it has an ex-
tremely malignant and terrible ex-
preston. When he is alive and ex-
cited know of nothing in all nature
of so dreadful appearance as the eye of a
rattlesnake. 1t is enough to strike not
only birds and little animals but men

occasions examined them closely with

there are few men on the face of the

Deafness Can't be Cured,

Deafness can't be cured by local appli
cations, as they can not reach the dis
eased portion of the ear. There ls oul.y
one way to cure Deafness, aud that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets iniamed, you nave
a rnmbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases ont of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mucus
surfaces.
